UAW Local 685 donates to Howard Haven

The members of United Auto Workers Local 685, employed by Stellantis, recently donated $2,000 to Howard Haven, the residential center maintained by Howard County. The purpose of the donation was to provide Christmas gifts for the facility’s residents.

The union was joined by the UAW Local 685 Retirees, which added to the total with a $500 donation. The Friends of Howard Haven, a charitable organization directly serving the facility and its residents, expressed its gratitude to the union and its members and retirees for their generosity.
